6.5 IMO.

CGC gave it a 7.0, so I feel slightly lucky! :-)

Unfortunately, there were two other books in the bunch that came back a full 2.0 points less than I expected (and paid for, ouch!)

Oh well, win some, lose some...

Wow, I am very surprised to see that, I would have thought the staple tear and colour breaks along the spine would prevent that. Good to hear though. I would love to hear more details about the other books you sent in to get a better idea of how much CGC penalized whatever defects you may have assumed were not as major as they turned out to be.

All the gory details are in this post... I am still surprised that the Conan and IM&SM#1 both got the same grade as the DD#5 because they both look a LOT nicer to me!

Right, I saw that later. I'm not surprised. CGC grades rough against staining (as they should) and thus a very nice book that is slightly stained can end up the same grade aa a book with more noticeable defects like your DD 8.

Congrats on the grade. Always love the color gradation on those early Marvels.
